COURI OF CHANCERY, SC NE LORD STEWART'S CASE. The Solicitors concerned in the cattse of Lady Emily Vane Temptst thh day again waited on the Loan CHANCELLOR 111 his private room, and made a farther communication to hiS Lordship. No al lusion was made to it in open Court,. and conse quently it ma y be inferred that their deliberations on the points referred to diem are not yet brought to afitoil close. .... CONTEMN' OF COURT.-MRS. BAZELEI"S CASE. WADE V. SCRUTUN. Sir ARTHUR PIGGOTT said, he now held in his hand a Petition from Mr. Buzeley, praying that the Report which the Master had made in this case might be confirmed, on his •tindertakiog to execute the dead of settlement sanctioned by the Master's Report, and that he might forthwith be discharged froM the prison of; the Fleet, and the costs in the case be taxed and paid out of the proper fund. The Learned Gentleman felt that it was not necessary for him to go into a detail of the facts, of the case, as - these were already well known, not only to the Court and Bar, but to almost every individual of the pnblic.—[lt svillbe recollected we have on many occasions detailed the whole of this interesting case, both when the Petitioner was committed to the Fleet, and during the various applications which have since been made to the Court.] The LORD CD.A.,NCELLOR. readovey the Petition, and for a - . few. - moments consulted with Mr: Walker, 'one of , his-Lordship's Registrars. He then said, " 1 am exceedingly doubtful whether, egreeably to the established practice of the Court, can possibly grant Mr. Bazeley his discharge, on his merely Hndertaking to perform'the stipulations of the settlement. 1 doubt it is utterly out of my power to do so, unless a proper and full exe cution be inside." Sir ARTHUR PIGGOTT—That, my Lord, is, I conceive, the usual mode of practice in the Court. The sum of 15001. proposed •to be paid for his debts, will, 1 believe, according to the usual rule, be liquidated from the means he has provided for that. The 301)1 %% ill be paid by 3001. a year, which, of course, will be liquidated in five years. I do, therefore, think the discharge should be granttd, when the execution ut the deed is effected. The LORD CHANCELLOR—I don't, believe, Sir Arthur, tire proposal of an undertaking to -exe cute ii settlement was ever before 'done, except under the peculiar circumstances of no officer, or a her public individual, going abroad. If il.lr. Walker, whose knowledge of the forms of the . Coutt we all know, finds, in looking over the cases which have occurred, that this is the prac-, tire, or ran be established by any principle to be the practice, then lam very well content lam sure this case of Mr. Bazeley can have no thing in it to prevent rue doing so. Bu t am 1 -siire'of his fulfilling the terms of the settlement Sir A. PIGGOTT--1 should certainly think him guilty of contempt it be did not. The LORD CH ANCELLOR--"NeS, Sir Al;dltir, that is sery-true ; but where can we find lan after we have discharged him May be not without any doubt hold us also in contempt ? 1 wish to know it you have the names of the trustees ready, be cause, if that he the case, they can of course execute the deed, Sir A. PiGeterr said, the names were not at this moment in his possession, but ire understood evidence to that effect had been laid before the Master. The LORD CHAticst.t.oß—Well, how is this 3001. a-year to be rid for the liquidation of his debts Sir A. l'icoorr- - ---Out of his own fonds, I on deistaud, The LORD CHANCELLOR--I RID sure I feel every desire to he attentive to the interests of both par ties, but you must allow me to say, my delays in coming to judgment are only occasioned by a tear of doing one party or other the. slightest injury. I should be pained to think I could be supposed capable of acting otherwise; but I think I am doing the best thing I CRO fur the interests of this young lady, when I 340 shall grant the dis charge on this settlement in pursuance of the former aud prescht - repurt .
